I don't want to jump the cue, but if someone wants to put forth a guess I will be happy to put out the answer. Cheers,, Redleafjumper

As I understand the original point, the group in question posted poppy imagery without seeking permission.  That is a clear violation of the  copyright held by the Legion.  What the posting agency needed to do was seek permission before posting and receive a response.  When permission has not...

GAP, it actually depends on the site.  Some sites may have messages which may not be in line with the purposes of the poppy campaign.  Does the use of the symbol need to be carefully controlled?  Of course it does, or the message might be confused or associated with some purpose of a...

Of course the Legion clears who might use the poppy for corporate purposes and certainly those wanting to "use" the poppy should expect to ask.  The problem with places not "acknowledging the poppy" as Tess put it, is usually one of refusing to allow the Legion to canvass for the poppy...

Military Granny is completely correct.  As a past legion branch president, I can assure you that there all sort of persons who are quite willing to misuse or misrepresent the poppy for purposes not in keeping with the poppy as the symbol of remembrance.  Consider the 'white poppy" which pops up...

Who is the only Canadian recipient of the Gold Life Saving Medal of the Order of St. John? Cheers,

What about the FN? Or the Bren gun?  There are so many other cool manly firearms out there that didn't make the cut. I was surprised that some version of Remington's 700 wasn't included.  Cheers, Redleafjumper

This is a useful source for a variety of writers, including some Canadians: The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry: Revised Edition (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback) by Various (Author), Jon Silkin (Editor) "Even compassion must now be circumspect, for if it doesn't try to do...

I think one of my all-time personal favourites was "...does not suffer fools."

I knew Pat Stogran many years ago from summer training at Vernon.  I remember him as a thoughtful, serious fellow and I believe that he will do a good job.  He is high profile, well-known and a good officer.  He should be a real aid to this job. Cheers,

It is interesting that they would even think of saying this when BC conservation officers carry Glock model 22 (.40 S&W). I had heard there was some ignorant comments about 10mm being somehow inadequate, but I thought that had been sorted out. My ATCis only a few months old and I had no real...

My BC-issued ATC includes a revolver and a semi-automatic pistol.  I would be interested in the source for that information on semi-autos and policy. Cheers,

Given the increased interest in the Arctic by several countries and the resistance of even our 'friends' to recognize our northern borders an enhanced submarine capability makes a lot of sense.  There will, however, be a real need to build the infrastructure to support a strong naval presence in...

Absolutely true.  So many people fall for false authority syndrome and believe the person just because they are in a position of authority, even when they are wrong or bluffing. +1 Cheers

One little change, the last line should read "...This is far more than have been registered in the..." , rather than: Cheers,

I see a LCol DA Patterson is to receive the MSM, is that our scribe dapaterson?  If so, then congratulations. Cheers, Redleafjumper

Probably the most comprehensive study of Canadian firearms ownership was the 1976 Stenning and Moyer survey: Stenning, Philip C., and Sharon Moyer.  Firearms Ownership and Use in Canada: A report of Survey Findings, 1976.  Toronto: Centre of Criminology, University of Toronto, 1981. While the...

For the information of the firearms folks on this thread, National Firearms Association President David A. Tomlinson passed away Tuesday evening after a short illness.  Dave was in the army in the 1950's and also in the RCAF as a junior officer.  Here are some of the comments about Dave from NFA...

Here is where one may find a copy of that paper: http://www.hawaii.edu/hivandaids/Cerebellar_Brain_Abscess_Associated_with_Tongue_Piercing.pdf There are several other accounts; a google search of 'tongue piercing and brain abscess' will bring up many. Cheers,
